@MrTmenzo Just don't irrigate it then. There won't be as much yield but then the roots will go deeper and bring up the minerals it used to be famed for. BTW I've eaten Alfalfa sprouts in a vegan restaurant.
Maybe, just maybe, you shouldn’t be planting a water intensive plant in a dry climate. If one country just has a natural comparative advantage in growing a crop then why are we upset we can’t “compete”
In reality, we can’t compete with many world growers. US produce has always been heavily subsidized. US corn being allowed to export tariff free drove the immigration crisis in the 90s when Mexican corn farmers were driven out of business with NAFTA.
The Mexican avocado is not just a fruit; it is a symbol of the fertile bounty of Mexico, rich in flavor and history, that has transcended borders to conquer the American palate. Its journey from the sun-drenched orchards of Michoacán to the tables of millions speaks to the power of Mexican agriculture, culture, and the undeniable allure of something simple yet profound. This humble fruit, with its velvety texture and vibrant taste, has become an ambassador of Mexican heritage, bridging cultures and nourishing both body and soul. Nice video, CNBC!
Many lakes in Michoacan, Mexico are disappearing due to extensive droughts, and the avocado industry is the culprit! The U.S. has more regulations to protect water consumption, while in Mexico businesses interest are put above the public’s interest when it comes to water supply. Only a few make a killing from the avocado industry in Mexico, at the expensive of the general public without access to running water! 💧
Not as often as before my guy. In the last years Mexico is prioritizing its people, so all those regulations that you are talking about are taking place in Mexico as well. Pretty much Mexico is ramping up on every single aspect of production for the well being of the Mexicans.
here is some inf. that I found: El aguacate es considerado un alimento nativo de las regiones tropicales y subtropicales de América. Su nombre proviene del náhuatl «ahuacatl», que significa «testículo» en referencia a su forma.

Hoy en día, el aguacate se cultiva en muchas partes del mundo, pero los principales productores son México, República Dominicana, Colombia y Perú.

The good thing is that every Monday on my street we have a food fair. I forget what Americans a call it. And they sell a lot of locally grown, organic produce and not too expensive.
The trees take a VERY long time to grow. The labor here is Mexican in CA and so is Mexico. We had a grower in Santa Barbara recently who had thieves stealing the crops for use or sale.

1) Mexican avocados were allowed to be imported in small numbers beginning in 1997, to meet growing demands not met by US growers. 2) Mexican avocado industry is largely controlled by Cartels.

Avocados originated in Mexico thousands of years ago, as tomatoes. Corn and chocolate! Even the words are from nahuatl origin. A few things Mexico gave to the world...
I think the answer is kind of straightforward right? This country is so hostile to farmworkers that they need to hide their faces or risk deportation. You keep cracking down on immigrant labor in agriculture and then complaining that food is too expensive and imports are too sketchy.
We're growing a variety of avocado trees in Los Angeles. Heavy crop and the shade is a bonus. The leaves makes premium mulch or compost and the branch cuttings good to use for BBQ
Avocados have been growing in Michoacan Mexico for thousands of years, its their native environment. California has been very successful however the cost and availability of water for the crops has become a challenge for farmers.
And to know that the US government threatened Mexico that they’re were not gonna import avocados because some minor incident . I was thinking. Bring in on ! What a joke!
I thought that the decision to suspend inspections that allow you to export to your major customer was smart and right. Sort your behaviour out or the whole revenue can be closed down.
2 years ago Jalisco got their own Certification to export to the US. So the supply is growing and now goes from two different States. But only those 2 States can export, so it isn't the whole country growing them, just Michoacán and now Jalisco to fill in the shipping gaps.
Mexico will stop buying corn from The United States and probably hike the price of export of 🥑 to the United States. Time for the Mexican farm workers to come back home
Her dad got it in the 50s. Back then, property prices weren't so exaggerated. The government would even help you if you planned on using it for agriculture. An acre in Calif. in the 50's was $300. Now it's $12k an acre. ($300 in 1950 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $3,910.89 today)
In order to US defeat mexico avocado production is when US develop a synthetic avocado that can compete against natural grow mexican avocado, otherwise US most resign to never get the avocado production worldwide leadership! It had to be said and it was said!

In Canada we pay much more for Avocado, in fact we make way less and pay more for everything. Especially housing, a 200k run down house in the U.S will cost more than 1 million Canadian. I think Canada is fast becoming Mexico.
California is the only valuable state in America but it’s already wasting too much water to feed America that’s shy it’s not viable to produce avocados in California.
Well, It's very simple: 20 years ago guacamole and avocados were a Mexican restaurants tradition, mostly. Nowadays it has expanded to the entire world as a delicacy. Especially in USA. I heard even guacamole and tortilla chips is the most consumed dish during the Superbowl, 5 de Mayo and most holidays. In fact, there are three things you can't never get rid of your life: a Mexican, a Mariachi, a shot of tequila, tacos, and a tasty guacamole.

3D printed avocados will fix this problem 😎
It's not only the cost, they're the best tasting avocados in the world, hands down.

WHY EVERYTHING FRROM MEJICO IS BETTER AND ONE TRILION OF MEJICANS LIVE IN EEUU
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Sure would be nice to start off with 252 acres.
Her dad got it in the 50s. Back then, property prices weren't so exaggerated. The government would even help you if you planned on using it for agriculture. An acre in Calif. in the 50's was $300. Now it's $12k an acre. ($300 in 1950 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $3,910.89 today)
In order to US defeat mexico avocado production is when US develop a synthetic avocado that can compete against natural grow mexican avocado, otherwise US most resign to never get the avocado production worldwide leadership! It had to be said and it was said!
This was really interesting piece of information. Thanks CNBC.
It’s the scent the Mexican avocado have! ❤
Stop with all the regulations and stop diverting the water into the ocean and the California farmer's can do their jobs. It's not rocket science it's just common sense.
Regulation is what makes a civilised society civilised, stable, safe and sustainable. It's a 'first world' thing 👍
@@neilmckay8649 there's also a thing of too much regulation and it's sad that you don't seem to know that. It's way easier for a country to grow and thrive if they are allowed to do so.
@@Ohiostategenerationx agree that too much regulation stifles businesses but your comment stated 'all' and that'd be anarchy. I've been lucky enough to live in first, third and developing countries, there are benefits in each.
@@neilmckay8649 I didn't think that I would have to spell it the whole thing out. I was thinking that most people would realize what I was talking about.
Stupid Democrats policies holding back USA.
💯watching while cutting some avocados 🥑 to add to my seviche I have the tostadas and a Corona on standby 🙂😋
If people really care about environment , they should stop buying avocados 🥑
80% of New Zealand Avocado's go to Australia and they love them!
“So how did Mexico become the dominant producer of avocados” Uhhh ma’am they’re native to Mexico, and have been grown there for thousands of years. How do you think 😂
My mom has 20 acres in zamora mich, left to her by her dad..She did the smart thing and leased the land to an avocado grower.He takes care of "everything "😉all she does is collect 😅
And the CARTELS get their cut ...
Slava TEQUILA🥃 Heroyam Sinaloan Cartel 😎
😂 cartels get their cut from all American crackheads
Right.. I was thinking the same.. they are taking over the avocados industry
USDA thinks they can go subordinate us on our own land. They learned real quick. We don’t mind selling avocados to other countries
GRAN TRABAJO DE LOS MEXICANOS...
GRACIAS POR SU ESFUERZO
👏👏👏👏👏
🇲🇽 🥑😋
I go to nogales sonora all the time every fruit and vegetables and avocados is way better especially when you get them fresh from the vendors 🔥.
Only northern Mexican states are in drought. Which they aren’t anymore they are getting rain smh🙂↔️
Michocan the capital of Avocados.
¡Viva México! 🇲🇽
Mexican Food, "Intangible Heritage of Humanity", Unesco (UN/ONU).
Along the French, Japanese, Mediterranean and Mexican Food, with such distinction.
Avocados, aguacates, (or paltas, term used in S.Ame)., are a Mexican gift to the world.
Just as chocolate, vanilla, and corn.
CA farmers are locked into water rights which means their water is heavily subsidized by CA residents, and still can't compete with mexico where they have better climates are more predictable rainfalls...
it was the little jingle. "Avocados' from Mexico..."
Avocado Republic.
Michocan Mexico.

avocados were grown by the native americans in mexico in their city states, domesticated from a wild plant, genetically modified into what we know today before even USA existed! They would farm huge crops of Corn, squash, avocado, tomaotes. Mos tof w hat we eat comes from mexico and azteks/mayans/

In Canada we pay much more for Avocado, in fact we make way less and pay more for everything. Especially housing, a 200k run down house in the U.S will cost more than 1 million Canadian. I think Canada is fast becoming Mexico.
True..
I feel like mexico is vastly more productive than canada
@@sabiblankenship7377 mexico is also ruled by cartels. so not the best place to live.
Sounds like Australia.
Mexico has better quality food & a lot cheaper. Yo live on frozen land what do you expect to grow other than apples? 😂
State fruit of California! 💚🥑
Buy avocados today to support your local drug cartel
I try avocados from peru,guatemala ,costa rica brazil and dominican republic and the flavor from mexican avocados is unique and delicious!!😊
Cheap labor, that’s why.
Of course, everything in California is expensive
Why not US then scale down the dollar, that will make importa expensive and US production can increase as well due to demand.
Their avocados are not good neither.
Endless slavery 😢
California is the only valuable state in America but it’s already wasting too much water to feed America that’s shy it’s not viable to produce avocados in California.
Well, It's very simple: 20 years ago guacamole and avocados were a Mexican restaurants tradition, mostly. Nowadays it has expanded to the entire world as a delicacy. Especially in USA. I heard even guacamole and tortilla chips is the most consumed dish during the Superbowl, 5 de Mayo and most holidays. In fact, there are three things you can't never get rid of your life: a Mexican, a Mariachi, a shot of tequila, tacos, and a tasty guacamole.
Because they are from there! Jesus Christ!
The very best avocado is grown in Puerto Rico USA
I’ve been eating avocados for 70 years and I have tried them all
So I know from experience
